Arms Race

"The Cold War isn't thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat." ~ R. Nixon

The Cold War is ablaze! The US and the Soviet Union are engaged in a constant contest of one-upmanship. The world teeters on the brink of Mutually Assured Destruction, such that Humanity could be wiped out if your grandmother so much as sneezed. Political processes have become cumbersome and ineffective and it seems nothing can put an end to the mounting tension. Realizing this, to end the arms race once and for all, the two superpowers have resorted to the ways of the past, a show of strength, integrity, and honour… An Arm Wrestle.

Arms Race - a two-player, head-to-head party game that's all about mashing buttons and overpowering your opponent. It's going to be an intense, all-out, no-nonsense duel between two global superpowers, without any ridiculous shenanigans whatsoever. None, honest.

The original game was developed as part of the Brisbane 48 hour game making challenge, using the inspirations "Love", "Power", and "Surprise". After receiving a plethora of positive feedback from players, we decided to turn the game into something really worthwhile. Polishing off some of the rough edges, and adding plenty of new content we didn't have the time for initially, Arms Race has undergone a serious upgrade. All so we could release it for you guys to enjoy!
